Interesting, it only seemed to move during the day when people were around and stopped at night. Then, near the end, it stopped moving at all. A smooth surface and the vibration of the visitors walking by the case?

I think if you go back and look again it clearly moved when people were not nearby. If anything the flickering lights from outside implied that vehicles were passing by at the time it moved. Although there is one point where it appears to move slightly in the dark. Watch the shoulder and it turns a degree or so but I don't have my reading glasses so I could be wrong about that.

Ramen bowls and tea cups in Japan will hover pretty much 100% of the time on wet counter tops.

The ramen soup is hot and there's a little concave area on the bottom of the bowl. If you set the heavy bowl of hot liquid down on water, it totally seals the concave area. This allows heat to build up which will raise the pressure of the trapped air, leading to a sudden release. What this means is your bowl of noodles or tea cup will spontaneously move a few centimeters in a sudden jerk movement, like a ghost just pulled it.

I'm betting some staff are playing silly buggers with a camera here, but it could be some simple physics being interesting. Maybe someone cleaned the statue case and left a tiny piece of debris under the statue, giving it a fulcrum to turn on when the case shakes.

Out subby... Not only for the vid but the nonsense news. Do greens feed your ego?

/only have one, submitted prolly five... But I have a long time girlfriend and an acknowledgement amongst a large sample size that I 'm packing heat.... Doesn't matter that I'm poor I guess... The fact that I try to not make others suffer seems to draw them to me....

About 25 years ago my mother moved into a new office building a few doors down from a large Confederate cemetary. I gave her a ceramic mask I bought somewhere to decorate her new office. It used to be a law office so there were many empty shelves to fill. Every evening when she left, the mask was sitting on its shelf propped up against the back, but when she arrived the next morning the mask would be face up on the floor in the exact center of the room, several feet away. This continued for a few weeks. She would return the mask to its place on the shelf only to have it migrate during the night. She had a solo private practice, no employees back then, and an alarmed and monitored building. So she put a nail in the back wall of the shelf and caught a ribbon from the back of the mask on it. Problem solved, no more jumping off the shelf at night.
